    There is a native viburnum in the south eastern part of the United States that I think is really pretty and underused. It's got these thick shiny green leaves that are often tinged with red. In the fall they turn a really nice bronze red color and they tend to hold them for a while. It's the Viburnum rufidulum. Also called the Rusty Blackhaw and a few other names.

    Thank you so much for such an informative video and telling us your personal experiences of growing them, and also how to and where best to grow them. Also, thank you for the tip on the Abelia !!! So cool!❤

    The Korean spice is a standout. Will look for it. Can't plant anything now because we're stuck with triple-digit days for a long while.

    Spicebush calcanthus are native to the Southeast as well. We called it sweetshrub more often. Enjoyed your clear voice talking about viburnums. About to acquire either a possumhaw or a blackhaw. The owner isn't sure, so needed some info which is how I found your videos. This will make 3 viburnums for me but definitely the Korean Spice viburnum is heavenly to smell and quite attractive to see. So it's on my list of "wants'!

    I welcome your knowledge and thankful I saw video it helped me distinguish between many viburnum and explained to me what the insect is that I had never seen before or noticed in such huge numbers. To explain I move recently to a different area of Arkansas and had a willow growing that is rather invasive in south Arkansas. Not the weeping variety but anyway it started the spring with larvae that looked exactly like the larvae you showed and beetles were exactly. It stripped the tree totally them the beetles came and stripped layed eggs and those larvae stripped it again not bothering any other plants . I didn't spray or try to remove because I didn't want the tree and was afraid they would move onto other plants . They killed the willow it was probably 25' tall and 15' wide . So this intrigued and horrified I fear they will be back next year to invade something else . No more willows but now I have planted other things and am closely watching for eggs . I've never seen this beetle before or seen a life cycle like this , it would have kept laying eggs and larvae and beetles would have kept munching off every leaf and stem if the tree hadn't died as a result.

    I've got 3 viburnums and one got hit really hard. I believe it's called maple leaf or cranberry viburnum. The other two are getting attacked as well but the leaves are spotty versus skeletons. As gross as this sounds I'm squishing the beetles and spraying them with the hose and hoping the birds will get some too. Not sure they're interested. Thanks for the info.

    Two viburnums are very popular in Britain and are known as the snowball bush and the wedding cake bush and are often grown as specimens

    The Mariessi kind of looks like the Wedding Cake tree. I have looked for one of the Wedding Cake for years but can't find it. Do you know where I could get one?

    Dear Robert, in this video, a plant with blue flowers can be seen in the background approximately at 5:16 time mark. What is the plant's name? I live in northern Illinois (Chicago metropolitan area) and wonder if I could have this plant in my garden. Thank you in advance.

    Don't plant this in the US. Plant native viburnums.......nannyberry, blackhaw, arrowwood, cranberry bush.......these are the best for wildlife
